One of our main strengths is advanced analysis and design for complex structures. Special structures include those with non-euclidean geometries, composite materials and exposed elements. Special structures require both analytic and creative thinking. This is our primary area of expertise. Our unique interdisciplinary teams blend technical grit with imagination. Our expertise in special structures includes transformable structures, sculptures, pedestrian bridges and canopies. Our approach is to simplify, clarify and establish rhythm.
